The Madding Crowd

The Madding Crowd
Short Info

Founded in 2010, The Madding Crowd are an unstoppable, insatiable, chaotic force, borne of frustration, desire and a vicious determination to be different.

We play Alternative Psychedelic Punk music which has inherent in it a fierce sense of intelligence, individuality and independence. We are a family in a literal and metaphorical sense, and from day one we have carried a sense of ourselves against the world. We are fearless, glamorous and unbreakable and we live passionately for our art.

We have supported the Inspiral Carpets' Tom Hingley and Supergrass Bassist Mick Quinn. We have sold out Manchester's Sound Control and played to a packed Manchester Academy 3. In our time we have built a loyal and passionate fanbase that continues to grow and grow.

In the last 5 years, we have released 3 EP's, 2010's 'Because We Are Too Much', 2012's 'They'll Love You More For Who You're Not' and 2013's 'A Stitch in Time', which has been a roaring, critically lauded success.

We believe unerringly in what we do, and we will never allow ourselves to be compromised or cowtowed. We are a maelstrom, and piece by piece, the world is starting to find out.
